agent to decide how to break the content during print.

.lefty {page-break-before: left;}

page breaks after the element so that the next page is considered a left page. A value of
right
forces one or two page breaks after the element so the next page is considered a right
page. The default value of
auto
neither forces nor forbids a page break, allowing the user
agent to decide how to break the content during print.

position
This property defines how an element is positioned relative to other elements.
Syntax
position: absolute | fixed | relative | static | inherit
When positioned
absolute
, the
left
,
right
,
top
, and
bottom
properties can be used to
define the element's precise location, using the affected element's upper-left corner (0,0) as
reference. Because elements can contain other elements, a position of 0,0 is not necessarily
the upper-left corner of the browser. When a
relative
position is used, offsets will be
related to the object's natural position in the document flow. An element with
absolute
position may be set to defined coordinates but will scroll with a window. However, an
object with a
fixed
position
value will stay in position onscreen as things scroll.
